In My Dreams (11/15/18)

"I worked on Unicorn Alley"

She smiled and lit 

A 10-foot cigarette 

In my dreams 

We were in a dimly lit 

Basement 

With a handful of strangers 

Watching sea waves 

Rolling in 

The art on the walls 

I couldn’t see straight 

But I could feel it 

Deep in my knees 

The guard screamed 

"Come and save me"

Grabbing paddles 

For a boat that 

Ran on steam 

The waves broke 

Hardest

In the morning

So we couldn’t 

Climb aboard 

We had to wait until 

The evening 

When the captain

Felt assured 

Shining all our lanterns 

Straight into the night 

The woke and wondrous 

People 

Were the only ones in sight
